 Some systems make it happen already, such as the POWER9 platform and its 
PHB4 host bridge (which doesn't handle PCIe TLP I/O read or write commands 
at all), however some PCI/e devices do require I/O space, such as IEEE 
1284 parallel port adapters.  Some PCI devices dating back as far as to 
1990s provide dual mapping of their resources via an I/O and a memory BAR 
both at a time, so we can choose which to use depending on circumstances.

 FWIW,
